Ukraine Deploys 70 NATO-Certified FC.K, FC.KP and FC.MP Electronic-Warfare Systems to Fight Drone Threat

Ukrainian defense-tech firm First Contact, working with a German partner, has completed delivery of an entire batch of mobile electronic-warfare systems to the Armed Forces of Ukraine, the company told Ukrainian outlet Militarnyi on February 6.

In total, Ukrainian units received 70 mobile electronic-warfare complexes, designed to counter drones and other radio-frequency threats directly on the battlefield.

The delivery was carried out as part of an international technology cooperation project with a German global leader in cryptographic protection. According to the company, the transferred systems have successfully passed NATO-standard codification and certification, allowing their integration into frontline operations.

The FC.K system is a tactical mobile platform built to detect, analyze, and jam drone control links, as well as video and telemetry transmission channels between unmanned aerial vehicles and their ground control stations.

Mounted on the Kozak-5 armored wheeled chassis, the complex supports operation from a remote external workstation, enabling crews to perform missions at a safe distance.

The platform includes:

• multiple electronic-jamming modes;

• a modern control system;

• advanced software with built-in cryptographic protection;

• tools for detecting, analyzing, and locating mobile network base stations.

Together, these features allow the system to disrupt hostile drone operations while maintaining secure communications for Ukrainian forces.

Further development of the platform produced the FC.KP (also based on the Kozak-5) and FC.MP (mounted on a Mercedes-Benz Unimog chassis) variants.

Adapt or Fall: Innovation as the Key to Win the War in Ukraine

These systems are designed to:

• detect and identify radio emissions from onboard drone electronics;

• locate enemy ground control stations at distances of tens of kilometers;

• operate across a wide radio-frequency spectrum from 20 MHz to 6 GHz,

The complexes are engineered for round-the-clock autonomous operation in extreme temperatures ranging from –30°C to +55°C, making them suitable for continuous deployment in active combat zones.

Each unit is equipped with three electronic-support sensors, a secure cryptographic communications module, and an Osa-R reconnaissance drone produced by First Contact, expanding situational awareness and targeting capability.

Earlier, Ukrainian communications company HIMERA delivered a batch of its electronic warfare–resistant tactical radios to a European NATO member state, marking a major step in the company’s international expansion.
